A New Beginning

Chapter 1 - Really?

A/N: I would just like to say that I own none of the characters. The great Stephenie Meyer has created them, but I've had fun playing with them!

It was the start of winter in the small town of Forks when it happened. Four murders and a disappearance were highly unusual for a small town of 3,000. Luckily Chief Charlie Swan was one the case, he always worked his hardest to keep the citizens safe. It all started one night in November when Bella Cullen, the Chief's daughter, and her husband Edward where hiking through the woods when they came across what looked to be an abandoned camp site. When they looked around further they discovered the body of a tourist. They both knew what had caused this horrible attack, but Charlie couldn't know.

The truth was that the Cullen's were vampires, but not the normal kind. They only feasted on animals, never humans. That was Carlisle's work, he saw the destruction it was before he was turned and he then vowed to never be like that. The Cullen's lived just outside the limits of the town, where they could be alone, and where they could themselves without having to worry about humans stumbling across them. This also made some of the residents of Forks a little uneasy, knowing that there was a family out there all on their own.

When Bella heard of the first murder, she never suspected there would be more, but once the second and third one popped up that's when she grew suspicious. Once Carlisle got a chance to examine the bodies, he knew it was a vampire and not just one.

"I've seen something similar to this, when I was with the Volturi." Carlisle said as he looked around the table at his family.

"But why here in Forks, do the others realize we are here?" Rosalie inquired.

"Most likely not, they are probably just nomads making their way through. But, that would not explain the multiple murders over the last couple of weeks."

Just then, they heard a police cruiser pull off the highway with its sirens blaring and lights flashing. They all looked at Edward since he could read minds, maybe he could hear the officer's thoughts.

"Ummmm guys, we have trouble speeding toward out house right now!" Edward said crazily.
